The Auerbach brothers' house is not only one of the most beautiful buildings on ul. Narutowicz but throughout Lodz. Among other tenements designed by Gustaw Landau-Gutenteger, it is distinguished by its unusual form, which results from the combination of the Neo-Romanesque and Neo-Renaissance styles. In comparison to the typically Art Nouveau works of an architect who can be admired on Piotrkowska, the building seems to be heavy and dark. Battered mascots with bats on their top sat on top. Windows divided by a column into two parts are called biforia. They were a characteristic element of Romanesque, Gothic and nineteenth-century neo-Romanism. The windows on the lower floors were modeled on the Venetian Renaissance. The balconies also have a Renaissance shape. The construction of the tenement house dates back to 1896, and the first owners were probably brothers Chaim and Gersz Auerbach. The courtyard housed the building of the former woolen factory of the Teitelbaum brothers. After World War II, the editor of the Yiddish newspaper "Dos Naje Lebn", a printing house and the seat of the Union of Jewish Writers and Journalists were here.

Hotel Polonia Palast ** - hotel in Łodzi situated at 38 Narutowicza Street. Hotel Palast was built in the years 1910 - 1912, at the then intersection of Dzielna and Widzewska streets. The Dobrzyński family gave the idea for its construction. The facade of the hotel was designed by Rudolf Koloch from Wrocław. The elevations had a classicist form with breaks of grooved half-columns. Allegorical figures of women in ancient costumes stood on them.
The building was very modern, because it had central heating, electric light, the latest elevator, chemical and electric laundry, telephones, running water and rich equipment. After World War I, the owners of the hotel were the brothers Leopold Dobrzyński and Maurycy Dobrzyński. In the 1920s, during the general overhaul, the name was changed to Polonia - Palast. In 1939, the name was changed again, this time to Polonia. After the Second World War, the building was occupied by the Red Army and it set up a military hospital there.
